Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

How can I make my mums moth orchid flower again?

Our Advice:

Once the existing flower spike stops producing flowers, cut it off and move the plant into a cooler room (about 5c lower). Keep it there for 4 weeks to encourage new flower spikes to form. When you see new green stems appearing above the leaves, move it back into the warmer room, and these stems will produce the next flowers.
